26th February in Swami Vivekananda Life

26 February :

Oakland Tribune 'Vedantism and what it is and what it is not' -
Newspaper report :Lecture of Swami Vivekananda on the Religion of the
Hindoos ...It is the Only Creed, He Says, that Can Be Taught Without
Lies and Without Compromise.. The Hindoo believes he is a spirit. Him
the sword cannot pierce, him the fire cannot burn, him the water cannot
melt, him the air cannot dry. He believes
every soul is a circle whose circumference is nowhere, but whose center
is located in a body. Death means the change of this center from body
to body. We are the children of God. Matter is our servant..... The
great cornerstone of Vedantism is the recognition of Self. Man, have
faith in yourself. The soul is the same in every one. It is all purity
and perfection and the more pure and perfect we [you] are the more
purity and perfection you will see..... Vedantism is the only religion
that can be taught without lies, without stretching the texts, without
compromise.
